Chapter Forty-Nine: The Wife Picks Up the Gold
Su Dayu carried two loads of green branches on his back, kicked open the wooden door with his foot, and with too much force, a piece of wood was broken into two, one up and down like two rows of teeth.
The wife, who was washing clothes at the door, raised her head when she heard the movement, shook the water in her hand, walked over and helped him take it down, and poked it all against the wall, and dried it to make a fire.
When the couple entered the house, their son happily hugged Su Dayu, Su Dayu wanted to pick him up, but his hands were full of tree oil, so he could only laugh: "What is so happy, son." ”
"There is rice paper! Dad, you don't have to work hard to make money, my mother picked up an elder brother on the road, he has a lot of rice paper, you see!" The son asked him to look at the white paper on the table, and then took a brush and wrote a few upright words on it, the ink could not print through the paper, and it was made by a first-class master of the first-class craft and upper workshop.
Su Dayu nodded: "It's good paper." ”
Although he is a big old man and doesn't understand the things used by these literati, he can still tell the good and the bad.
"Daughter-in-law, did you pick up a child?"
The wife said, "Yes, I went back to our mother's house to get some eggplant, and I met it on the way back." ”
"Where is he?"
"In the back room, still unconscious. ”
"I'll take a look. ”
Su Dayu saw the little boy lying on the kang and felt a little familiar, he thought about it while watching, and his thoughts went back to six years ago......
"Boss, how is this child?" the little minion very attentively brought the stunned Jin Jin to the bandit leader, who caught the child for the first time, hoping that the boss would praise him.
The boss glanced at Jin Jin and snorted: "Dress very decently, there must be money in the family, go, tell his father and his mother, and take five hundred taels of gold to ransom people!"
The boss lost one of his subordinates, but five hundred taels of gold arrived, but he didn't expect to be arrested by the government in less than half a month, they usually just robbed money, never killed, so the government imprisoned them, and sent people to teach them knowledge and reasoning, some people repeatedly did not change, some people realized their mistakes, and finally released.
Su Dayu's eyes widened suddenly, this kid wasn't the Jin Jin of the year. At that time, he was still young, but he could still see from his eyebrows and eyes that he would not admit his mistake.
The child's mother is said to have looked for them back then, thinking that they had been arrested again, but fortunately they had already entered the official prison cell, otherwise they would not have been able to wash themselves by jumping into the Yellow River.
Su Dayu, the bandit leader, has felt guilty and regretful for what he has done in the past few years, he feels that he can't hold his head up in front of anyone, he wants to apologize to Miao Di many times, but he is very timid. After marrying a daughter-in-law and having a child, he dare not say that his wife knows that he has done those things, will she continue to live with him? He has been fatherless and motherless since he was a child, and he finally has a family, and he just wants to enjoy this happiness.
However, Jin Jin was picked up by his wife, is this providence?
He hesitated.
If you don't send it back, stay behind, Jin Jin's mother must not be crazy?
But if he is sent back, his former identity will be exposed.
His wife looked at him and frowned, and asked him, "Heavy rain, do you know this child?"
Su Dayu loudly denied: "I don't know!"
His wife felt that his tone was wrong, why didn't she know what he was doing so loudly?
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The wife said, "It's Lang Zhong who is coming, I'll go open the door,"
Lang Zhong examined Jin Jin and said, "He's not sick, I can't see it." ”
Su Dayu was anxious, grabbed the hemp of the thin Lang Zhong's clothes, and said angrily: "If you can't see it, you have to show me, what method do you use to wake him up today!"
Lang Zhong trembled and said, "Uncle, you are angry, you are angry." This kid is different from ordinary children, I'm really powerless, you just put a knife on my neck, and I don't have a rut!"
Su Dayu let go of him and asked, "Tell me, who can have a way?"
"I don't know. Perhaps, only his father and mother can wake him up. ”
Lang Zhong's uncertain tone made Su Dayu very angry, and scolded: "Get out! quack, don't treat people tomorrow as soon as possible!"
Lang Zhong felt that if he didn't leave, this bearded man would kill him, so he left in a hurry.
Walking out the door, he wondered where this person seemed to have looked.
After the villagers finished frying pumpkin seeds, they went into the house to get plates and bowls or something, some sat on small benches, some sat directly on the ground, peeled melon seeds, after a while, there was a small bowl at the door of a house, and the melon seeds were more fragrant than when they were fried, and the children all ran out, grabbed a handful and ate them, and some of the adults stopped them, and some did not stop them.
Youyou walked out with Miao Di in her arms, and the neighbor's little grandmother couldn't help but scold when she saw her skinny skinny appearance: "You also said that we scolded you for being stupid, and you yourself said that you were stupid? If you are not in good health, you don't tell us, and you will carry everything by yourself? Who do you talk to, who can't help you?" A puff of smoke suddenly came out of the stove pit, and the grandmother coughed while waving her hand: "Just say that this fried pumpkin seed will let Jin Jin come back, you said earlier, everyone has already done this, and Jin Jin has already smelled the fragrance and come back." ”
In fact, Jin Jin only recognizes the fragrance of Miao Di's fried pumpkin seeds, that is, everyone in the world comes out to fry melon seeds and peel melon seeds, and it is not the taste of Miao Di's fried melon seeds.
Although, it doesn't work at all.
Although some villagers are hypocritical and show off their skills, of course, there are also warm-hearted people like the neighbor's grandmother, who can't get Jin Jin back.
Miao Di is still very grateful.
"Don't bother everyone, I know everyone is kind, but you all fry the five-spiced pumpkin seeds, it's not the taste I fried, and Jin Jin won't come back." If you hear it, please help spread the word, Miao Di is here to thank you!" Miao Di bowed deeply, "Thank you for your hard work, it's a hot day, let's go back to the house and rest." ”
The villagers heard it, some were still frying, still peeling, some unceremoniously entered the yard, there were still melon seeds at the door, and there were those who forgot to take them in, and those who deliberately put them at the door.
In case, Jin Jin can smell it back, you have to try it to find out.
"Arlo, you mean, there's not much hope?"
Shi Moyu thought that if she had to exchange blood tomorrow, Miao Di would die, and she might not be able to see Jin Jin before that, so she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in her heart.
Duan Luo said: "Only a few of them really want to help Miao Di, even if they fry the same flavor with Miao Di, it is useless for you to spread the fragrance farther." ”
Wu Yunbai said: "Then Miao Di can only leave with regrets? This is too unfair for a mother." Sister Mo Yu, can't you think of any other way to cure it?
Shi Moyu sighed and said: "Fang Fang is a child, usually active, the blood flow is fast, the cuttleworm is very toxic, there is no possibility of treatment if it is infected, and it is in vain to change the blood of ordinary people, and Miao Di's golden blood flows into the blood vessels, which can suck out the residual ink poison and discharge it through the intestines, and the blood will also turn red, so that Fang Fang can recover completely." ”
Shi Mosheng said: "At present, I want Jin Jin to come back and see her mother for the last time." ”
Shi Moyu said: "I just don't know, it's too late." ”
Duan Luo said: "Until the last moment, there is hope. ”
Fang Fang blamed himself: "It's all my fault, I'm not sick, Aunt Miao doesn't have to save me and I can't see Jinjin." ”
Shi Moyu said: "Fang Fang, it's not your fault. ”
"But I can't feel at ease if I live in this way......! I'm going to die now, so I won't trouble Aunt Miao!"
Fang Fangniang's heart ached: "Fang Fang, you can't stick a knife into my heart and your father's heart!"
Fang Fang cried: "Then what should I do? I don't want Aunt Miao to die, I not only want Jin Jin to come back today, but I also want them to stay together every day." But because of me, they will never see each other again. ”
Shi Moyu said: "That's why you should live well, don't let down Aunt Miao, have you forgotten? You are also her child." ”
Fang Fang was silent, still uncomfortable in his heart, he was afraid that he would not be able to live in this life.
"Heavy rain, what do you think of this child? Why don't you report to the official and let the government find his father?"
Su Dayu was in a daze, his wife patted him gently, and he turned his head sideways: "Hmm, daughter-in-law, do you have something?"
The wife said: "I said that the government should find the child's father and mother, and quickly pick it up, and it is not the case to stay in our house." ”
"No, absolutely not. ”
"Why? You still want him to stay at our house?"
The son said, "My brother won't leave, I want my brother to play with me!"
"Obedient, my brother also has to go home to find his father and mother, and he can't stay. ”
The son was unhappy: "Hmph! My mother won't give birth to my brother, and I won't allow the brother I picked up to stay!"
Su Dayu listened to his son's innocent words and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
Is he supposed to send Jin Jin back? But he doesn't know which village Jin Jin's family lives in.
Well, let's stay for a few days.
He went out first to inquire, and by the way, he sold some herbal tea to make some money. There is ready-made rice paper, but after all, it is not your own, and it is still practical to make money and buy things by yourself.
"Selling herbal tea~"
At this time, it was not yet noon, there were still two quarters of noon, and it was not very hot, so Su Dayu poured the boiled water into three teapots, put in black tea, green tea, and flower tea respectively, and then half-covered the lid, waiting for the guests to come.
This time there was a pergola, and three tables were brought, each with two fans, and the guests must have stayed here and did not want to leave. Thinking of making money, Su Dayu couldn't help humming a little song.
Sure enough, as expected, three people came over after a while, sat down, and strangely held a plate of pumpkin seeds in their hands, which really reminded Su Dayu, he thought to himself, next time he sells herbal tea, he will also bring some melon seeds, just drinking tea is really not interesting.
"Boss, your tea tastes good. A man with a mustache said.
Su Dayu smiled embarrassedly: "It's good if the guest officer likes it." ”
Bazi Hu looked at Su Dayu staring at the pumpkin seeds, and said, "Taste it, my daughter-in-law fried it, although it is not as good as the Miao Di in our village, it is also very fragrant!"
Su Dayu said in shock: "Miao Di, what kind of village is this?"
Bazihu was startled by him and said, "This is Pumpkin Village, what's wrong?"
